About the Item

- A fresh take on the traditional Postage Stamp pattern, this antique quilt was made by hand around 1940 and is entirely comprised of tiny, graphic indigo polka dots– all offset by crisp white squares, each just 1” wide. - Newly washed, this piece has an especially soft, cozy hand. - Through a combination of everyday craftsmanship and striking beauty, resourcefulness and innovation, quilts carry a magical power. They offer comfort and protection; they also take on the role of history keeper as they are often handed down in families, from one generation to the next. Each piece in our collection is a true heirloom, meant to be cherished and passed on for years to come. - This intricate quilt is in excellent antique condition with minor discoloration spots on its back. Please see our detailed photos. - This is a vintage and pre-loved item. Please review our detailed photos and kindly note that this quilt is sold as-is.
